30 Benefits of Mycorrhizae to Green Plants for home gardens + landscapes

Did you know? Myco (fungi) and rhizae (roots) have enjoyed an ancient symbiosis between higher green plants and friendly fungi for about 460 million years. This perfectly safe and all-natural relationship of plant roots with friendly fungi, plus beneficial bacteria, benefits both and includes 85-90% of all higher plants.

Green plants photosynthesize and provide sugars and carbohydrates for the fungi to use as an energy source.

In return, the fungi provide a plethora of benefits to the plants in your gardens and landscapes, including:

Up to 1,000 times better absorption of nutrients needed for plant growth and health (!)

Non-toxic, biodegradable, natural

Provides a “secondary root system” that supplies extra water and nutrients
